WW1 and Victoria University

To
mark Anzac Day and the centenary of the 1915 Gallipoli landings, the
Library has created a digital collection of World War I material.

The
material, which is publicly available, includes the Victoria University
Archive’s Honour Roll, which lists the names of then current students
and former students who were killed during World War I.

The collection also includes archival material related to Professor
von Zedlitz, one of Victoria’s founding professors, who was forced from
his post at Victoria due to the Alien Enemy Teachers Act 1915.
